One-in-three cable or satellite television subscribers opt for premium cable channels, but TV viewers are looking elsewhere to watch movies.

A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 35% of Americans who have cable or satellite TV subscribe to a premium cable channel like HBO or Showtime. (To see survey question wording, click here.)

The survey of 800 Adults was conducted on March 17-18, 2015 by Rasmussen Reports. The margin of sampling error is +/- 3.5 percentage points with a 95% level of confidence. Field work for all Rasmussen Reports surveys is conducted by Pulse Opinion Research, LLC. See methodology.
